The city's page for this facility ("website", above) recommends that site visitors consult the website of the
Mouvement Aquatique de Laval for hours and prices. The first time we followed their advice we couldn’t figure out how it all worked. This time, we think we nailed it and here are some instructions:
1) From the suggested web page, go to the
Activités aquatiques menu at the top of the page.
2) From the drop-down menu, select
Bain libre.
3) A page titled
Bains libres Ville de Laval will come up. Scroll down on that page to the photo and text
Piscine Val-des-arbres.
4) On the page that comes up (
Inscription), select the text that begins
Adultes…5) On the page that comes up, select
Adultes and click on the words
Bain Libre to find the days, times, and prices for adult free-swimming sessions. If the days and times are agreeable, proceed to set up an account and inscribe in the program.
It appears that only free swimming sessions (not laps) are offered at limited times for limited periods at a not particularly inviting price. When we checked in June, 2022, the program was offering two, 55-minute sessions a week for four weeks (June 21 through July 14) for C$40 plus tax, with a limit of 20 spaces in the three-lane pool.
